Weeping moss in a bag
Out of stock
Weeping moss (Vesicularia ferriei) is an aquatic plant commonly found in aquariums1. It is known for its distinctive downward-sloping growth pattern, which gives it a weeping or cascading appearance123. This plant has become popular in aquascaping due to its attractive deep green color and fine texture1. Weeping moss typically grows to a height of approximately one inch.
Weeping moss belongs to the family Hypnaceae and is a pleurocarpous plant3. It does not have true roots but rather uses rhizoids to attach itself to surfaces like driftwood or rocks3. It can thrive in a range of lighting conditions, from low to bright light levels, although it will grow faster with moderate light levels1. This moss can also benefit from added fertilizers and CO2 supplements to promote healthy growth.
Overall, weeping moss is a hardy aquatic plant that can add visual interest to aquariums and aquatic setups
To care for weeping moss, you need to consider the following requirements:
- Lighting: Weeping moss can survive in low to bright light environments but will grow faster with moderate light levels.
- Water quality: It thrives in temperatures ranging from 60 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and a pH of 5.0 to 6.0. A frequent water flow around the aquarium is necessary to sustain proper growth by continuous circulation of nutrients to all parts of the aquarium.
- Aquarium setup: Weeping moss doesn’t require specialty aquarium lights but needs to be attached to driftwood or rock for proper growth. It doesn’t have true roots but anchors itself with rhizoids.
- Nutrient supply: Weeping moss can survive without supplements and fertilizers, but it’s beneficial to add fertilizers and CO2 supplements to promote healthy growth.
Weeping moss is a hardy plant that’s relatively easy to maintain but requires a keen eye for proper care.

Self Sustaining Aquascape Tube
Size: 15○x35H
Self Sustaining Aquascape Tube is a fascinating concept that allows you to enjoy aquatic life with minimal maintenance.
Benefits of a self sustaining aquascape setup:
Sustaining aquariums offer several benefits for both aquatic life and aquarium enthusiasts. Let’s explore these advantages:
Low Maintenance:
The primary benefit of a self-sustaining aquarium is its low maintenance. Unlike traditional tanks that require frequent water changes and chemical treatments, self-sustaining setups use natural processes to maintain water quality. With the right balance of plants and organisms, you’ll spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your aquatic ecosystem.
Healthier for Aquatic Life:
Self-sustaining aquascape tanks are healthier for fish and plant life. They are subjected to fewer chemicals and water treatments, which can stress aquatic organisms. By relying on natural filtration and nutrient absorption, these aquariums create a more stable and harmonious environment for your aquatic friends.
Reduced Algae Growth:
The living aquatic plants in self-sustaining aquariums absorb nutrients from the water, preventing excessive algae growth. Algae thrive on excess nutrients, so maintaining the right plant-to-water ratio helps keep algae levels in check.
No Need for Frequent Water Changes:
In traditional tanks, water replacement is necessary every one to two weeks. However, self-sustaining tanks minimize the need for frequent water changes. The natural processes within the tank maintain water quality, reducing the chore of water replacement.
Eco-Friendly Approach:
Self-sustaining aquascape aquariums promote sustainability by relying on natural cycles. They consume fewer resources (such as water and chemicals) and contribute to a greener hobby.
Less Stress for Fish:
A stable environment with consistent water parameters reduces stress for fish. Self-sustaining tanks provide a more natural habitat, which positively impacts fish health and behavior.
Cost-Effective:
Over time, self-sustaining aquariums can be cost-effective. You’ll save money on water treatments, filter media, and other maintenance supplies.
Remember, while self-sustaining aquariums reduce maintenance, they still need care during the setup phase. Once established, they can be a joy to maintain! 🐠🌿SKU: n/a -
